I was just going to say 'big' but you are quite correct bamboo it does depend on the species and if you intend to keep pruning it.

Just to be pedantic, E. vernicosa (the Varnished Gum) is the smallest of the hardy species and grows to about five foot (try getting one though!). The foliage really does look as though it has been varnished too as even when dry, it is so shiny.
